06/30/2014: Fanfiction.net did not send me email alerts for reviews or PMs or updates from September 25, 2013-June 30, 2014. The problem is now resolved, but if I haven't replied to you about something, it was an oversight. Please feel free to give me a nudge again, now that alerts are working properly!

Fanfiction writing is an unfortunate hobby I engage in during my not-so-free time. This tendency has prevailed even in spite of attempts to restrain it. Once an idea ingrains itself in my mind, it will not let me rest until I have written it.

I began writing fanfiction long before joining this site. My younger brother used to be the only reader of my works, and for years he pestered me to post them here.

I tend to appreciate noble, self-sacrificing characters like Umino Iruka from Naruto, Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars, and Link (and Pipit) from the Legend of Zelda series. My very first foray into fanfiction was in the Legend of Zelda universe. What can I say? I like nice guys. Conversely, I find myself also fascinated by amoral, driven villains- Hans from Frozen being the most recent example.

While I am almost always in the middle of one writing project or another, I generally choose not to begin posting a story until the first draft is complete. I write because I must.

I have yet to figure out why must I write.

2. Shattered - A teenage Iruka, torture, and its aftermath

A moment in time. For Iruka, the hitaiate means so much more than just a symbol showing which village he's from. It's a gift given to protect those precious to you. KakaIru - for a better understanding, please read Naruto Ch405. It's one of my favs.

AU cliche. When the Sandaime fell, a nightmare descended upon Konoha. But on the day the nightmare began, no one noticed that one teacher's aid and a few young children disappeared. That simple fact may be the only hope Konoha has left.
